'Educational Smoker." "To the man on the street, and to the boy in the school, it must cause mild surprise to learn that Ontario County Coun- cillors and some leaders in education held an "educational smoker" in Whitby refently. Of what use is it to teach the ill effects of narcotics to pupils in the schools, and then place the stamp of a approve) on smoking, by holding an ' 'educational smoker' to tickle the favor of the County Fathers. The result will be "educational"" without doubt, but the tobacco trust , "does not need any boosting from this source. Reforms come slowly, when our leaders assume the atti- . tude of "do as I say, and not as I do." Just here it might be stated that smoking will not be pro- hibited, and the use of tobacco will not be so generally 'con- demned as the use of intoxicating liquor and drugs; but that does not prove that the intemperate use of narcotics is not an evil, particularly among yourig boys fof whose welfare educa- _. tional leaders are responsible.
